Ive gone back and forth but honestly fuck it. I can’t say too much about what I did or it’ll out me but I basically had a small part in a lot of sections in the game. And also it’s not like they silo’d the game from us. That’d be more trouble than just slapping an NDA on us. Here’s some top stuff. It’s just Hamerfell (no High Rock). Main quest is NOT about the Thalmor like everyone thinks (bc what average player gaf about the White Gold Concordant). But the Thalmor do weave into the main quest and have their own plot line (not a joinable faction tho). Main quest is honestly kind of like Starfield/Indiana Jones, hunting for clues that explain what happened to Yokuda. Bad guys are a cult to an ancient Redguard god. Nothing like shouts. Closest thing are these powerful talismans that you can wear. Each give you a very strong ability/power and you have four slots. Can fundamentally change your playstyle. The “random mechanic” (e.g. oblivion gates, dragons) is extreme weather events. There are lots of ways (clothing, magic, hiding) to deal with these. Basically survival-lite built into the game, as you’ll need to wear appropriate clothes in certain places, like the Alik’r desert. Kind of like the glowing sea in fallout. Yes there are naval ships. Honestly, last I saw it seemed pretty clunky and basic. Kind of like AC Odyssey. But you can hire crews that change your “combat speciality.” Warriors for boarding, mages for flames, archers, etc. RDR2 was a big inspiration from the top when it comes to fleshing out mechanics TES hasn’t explored much before. Horses are much more flesh out. Name them, customize them, buy different breeds. Can store stuff on them. Idk what else people want to know
>>4014292>Idk what else people want to knowwhy would i wanna play a shittier version of daggerfall?
>>4014315Daggerfall is already a shittier version of Daggerfall.
>>4014292How much of the story, plot and the quests being written by emil?Whos the loremaster currently at bgs and is he just a puppet with no powers like the guy who was working for zenimax and then wrote most of bg3?What are the biowhore writer's role in the writing process? Are they limited to making faggot companions like theyve done since me2 or are they gonna bring in the magic of what they managed to capture in dao and me1?Not sure if youre the real deal, but thanks. I needed a distraction and no distraction is better than a burning pile of ashes that bethard releases for 100$ like last time. And every other single time since morrowind.
Because that shit was made before I was born and looks like shit from a butt. even internally I couldn't stand the old heads that glazed this shit
>>4014316yea but we got a sourceport now with a buncha modsso you dont even have to play daggerfall to play daggerfall anymore
>>4014317From what I understand Emil has taken a backseat as a writer and mostly serves in an advisory role. Quest designers and writers for various storylines come to him for review/approval. He didn't even write the main plot line. I don't know much about companions but I know that it's going to be modeled more after Fallout 4 and Starfield than Skyrim. Fewer companions but more depth, quests, buffs, etc. Not as in-depth as BG3 but leadership recognized the impact the BG3 party members had on fans. I know one is an Argonian smuggler who you can pick up from a shipwreck.
>>4014292What role does the Empire have? Have games like DA veilguard or Awoved, or others affected story or development?
>>4014323Basically no empire. The Thalmor stuff is basically dealt with without the Empire. Some of the eastern areas of the map have some Imperial influence but the Empire is not a part of the game. I don't know for sure but I imagine they didn't want to canonize either civil war ending from Skyrim. Also there is no Empire in Hamerfell. But like I said I actually don't know any of this for sure -- maybe they do have some answer as to who won the civil war. As for DA Veilguard and Avowed, what do you mean? I feel like you're asking if the game is "woke" or something?
>>4014322Fucking farmtool loversThey cucked out of actually resolving the issue with morrowind when they had the perfect chamce and now they wanna give a repeat of the bear sex simulator with a lizard instead?On a more serious note, how is his backseat role actually shaping the stories specifically? He had complete control over either the story or a faction, or as close to it as someone could, previously and we all know what that did to fallout, elder scrolls and starshit. If the field has been poisoned, then nothing that grows from it is worth consuming.Nothing on the loremaster? So I'm assuming its definitely gonna be a clusterfuck again considering the silo nature of teams and how their quests and factions are madeAre level designers still being allowed to turn in ideas for isolated quests to ensure the en-shittification of the story?How many years after skyrim is being set to make everything that happened in it so irrelevant. 200y like it was between oblivion and skyrim? More? Less?Magic. Just tell me how bad its gonna get from a scale of daggerfall to skyshart
>>4014329Emil definitely has an influence on overall story arcs and major quest lines. But characters, dialogue, and miscellaneous quests are almost entirely executed by other writers. Bethesda got too big for just anyone to turn in isolated ideas. There will still be plenty of isolated quests though. The timeline is actually not too long after Skyrim. Maybe 30 years. don't know where you got the idea that Skyrim is so irrelevant. Magic is most similar to Skyrim’s systems. I don’t know a ton about the exact mechanics tho desu. I think there will be ways to combine certain spells.
whose slated to do the sound track?Is there a settlement building system? How dependent are radiant quests to the game experience?
>>4014354Its a huge disappointment they havent gotten a lore master. Thats what kept the elder scrolls alive for so long after morrowind with the older fans who were meant to buy based on the logo on the splash screen. I'm nowhere close to being that old, but my toenail likely has a better lore than what's been presented since morrowind.Interconnectivity between factions?Is there a single thing you could do to actually affect the world?Still gonna be awarded the faction leader at the end of it all for no reason?The large size of the organization mixed with the haphazard nature of the development process that has been adopted at Bethesda is is what prompted isolated silos to exist. I doubt theyve fired enough folks to go back to being smaller by any significant means. The isolated quests aren't the problem, the way theyre presented while being contradictory to the lore, rest of the story, being nonsensical in the world theyre presented in is what ruins them. Their presence alone isn't a bad thing, but the way theyve been done is.Okay, they combine some spells. I'm not sure if you've played other games in the same genre, but which ones would you think it'll never do better than in your opinion? Where would you rate the magic system on a scale of fable 3 to enderal even, I doubt it'll get any more complex exciting than that?Limb system, thats being ported over from fallout minus the vats this time around, right?How much of a crutch is settlement system gonna be to reduce the number of town hubs in game? (eg, f4)This ones a bit mean but I don't know how else to word it: how much of a toothless game is it gonna be in terms of edge, shock, aka, how much HR and msft sand off to make the game viable for 50yo dads to play infront of their kids without any shame or issue
>>40143751. Idk2. Ofc3. Prob about the same as Starfield
>>4014292So this will be the last of your retarded LARP threads? Thank god.
>>40142921. Can any skin color be any race? Such as a caucasian redguard or a black nord.2. Trannies in the game? Genderless character creator?3. Will there be tits?4. Do you think it's a piece of shit?
i got a question:why tf is anyone taking this weak LARP thread srsly?
>>4014658If it's anything like the previous threads, 90% of these posts are just OP replying to himself.Removing the IP counter was a good thing btw, thanks Hiroshimoot
>>4014325> As for DA Veilguard and Avowed, what do you mean? I feel like you're asking if the game is "woke" or something?Yes and no. Did their performance affect studio atmosphere or game development? How was it perceived, other games performance included. Were there any “ we might need to change _________” because of the poor reception?
>>4014292Fake and gay, unless you post proof
>>4014292larp larp larp sahur
>>4014719actually, just read the thread and due to how gay and lame this is i actually believe it
>>4014675We didn't really talk about games that sucked when it came to development. I know some coworkers played Avowed and thought it sucked. there is definitely a cultural thing against Obsidian that goes beyond just todd. I texted one ex coworker about the fallout news yesterday and he seemed annoyed. development was most affected by good games. RDR2, like I said. BG3. KCD. Elden Ring. Leadership mostly sucked but they do have a strong commitment to TES tone. so no like nonbinary companion you have to help come out to their aunt. i don't think people will say its woke, unless they're fucking redpills who have an issue with most npcs being black.
>>4014689idk what you want me to do man post my keycard? no chance dude
>>4014769Thank you anon, even if most people will dismiss this as "rumor" it's some good insight.
>>4014292This sounds so fucking boring that I believe it
>>4014769Thanks. What were people’s impressions with Oblivion remake reception?Also do you use 3BA or BHUNP?
>>4014292>Idk what else people want to knoware there brothels? can I pay to have sex? do girls reward me with a kiss, when I do their quest? can I date my female companion? can female bandits capture you and enslave you, use you as a foot stool and make you wear a magical collar, which explodes and kills you, if you don't do what they say?
>>4014826yes and also you can take a potion that makes you really small thereby making flame atronachs look 50' tall.
No blurry out of focus screenshot of the game = fake leak.
>>4014292admirable attempt, could've been believable up until the weather effects and survival elements, you get a 5.5/10 from me dawg now jannies please clean this shit up
>>4014322>I don't know much about companions but I know that it's going to be modeled more after Fallout 4 and Starfield than Skyrim. Fewer companions but more depth, quests, buffs, etc. Not as in-depth as BG3 but leadership recognized the impact the BG3 party members had on fans. I know one is an Argonian smuggler who you can pick up from a shipwreck.I guess I always knew this was gonna happen because RPG fans love this shit, but godDAMN do I hate how every RPG has to lean into this party banter with the power of friendship bullshit. >>4014769>development was most affected by good games. RDR2, like I said. BG3. KCD. Elden Ring.What inspiration is there to take from Rockstar beyond having an army of devs and unlimited budget? Bethesda can't actually capture what people love about that game, because you don't employ enough animators to pull it off. When Starfield tried to slow down the pace to be more RDR2-like people just thought it was boring.>i don't think people will say its woke, unless they're fucking redpills who have an issue with most npcs being black.kek, it's too bad this the game didn't come out last year because that would have definitely happened
>>4014977Nah, that's actually believable. The Skyrim Frostfall modder was apparently promoted to Lead Systems Designer.
>>4014769>it's not woke!!!stfu, troon. I'm glad you got fired.
>>4014769No one can trust a studio that put those male indian strip clubs into Flouride Starefield.Not only are you woke, you're boring.Get a clue from Tainted Grail maybe.Avowed was woke but it didn't suck, the level of interactivity and builds there is way higher than anything BGS put out in years.I'm the redpill your lesbian moms warned you about, true, but those of you in the koolaid factories still really don't get why we loathe you all.Keep on sucking yourselves off into ignominy I guess though, we tried for decades to get you all to course correct.
>>4014322> Quest designers and writers for various storylines come to him for review/approval. He didn't even write the main plot line.>If the rules brought you to this, of what use were the rules?
>>4015035was that your thought process for why you wrote that part? okay it's cool that you did your research but that's still too contrived to be believable, we can workshop a more convincing fake if you want to
I don't know what country Skyrim is, but all the people there are ugly as fuck.And for that reason alone, I don't trust anything Bethesda makes.
>>4014770Yeah you could censor the name, but you won’t because this is a gay little larp
>>4014661It's probably the best larp leak we've had in a while.
i still think its going to be high rock just because they want to chase skyrim audiences
>>4016170The teaser landscape looks way to dry for High Rock, but they probably made that one in a few days without anyone giving a shit so who knows.
